National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir threatens to break apart the government if Israel does not restart its war with Hamas, currently on a negotiated pause.
“Stopping the war = breaking apart the government,” he threatens in a statement.
Ben Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit holds six seats in the coalition, and sports three ministers in the cabinet.
Assuming the continued support of Benny Gantz’s National Unity party, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government would survive a Ben Gvir defection.
